Thankyou to those who agree with my viewss.
To the rest of you, well what can I say... If this is the response I'm getting from educated Pakistanis, I can't expect any better from the uneducated sheepherds of Punjab and Pashtunkhwa, God help us.
I'm not saying loudspeaker in itself is bid'ah, it becomes a bid'ah only when the Mullah's insist it is a Farz Rukn of Azan. Like someone said, one Adhaan given through the loudspeaker might be managable but nowadays Deendaari is Dukaandari (religion is bussiness), every Mullah has his own "dedh inch ki masjid" and they compete.
I agree with the person who said civilised countries have limits on noise pollution, we could do with that here. I agree with the blood pressure thing, Maghrib is a depressing time anyway and when all the Muezzins start screaming at the top of their lungs I have to grit my teeth.
There's this Mullah who likes to read Qur'aan, Naats, Khutbahs on the loudspeakers at night, it's soo annoying. Molvis can sleep during the day (Qehloola) because they fill their big bellies for free, atleast let the rest of us who earn Halaal Rizq by working on farms and in offices rest at night.
To the person who said there's more noise nowadays so we need loudspeakers, I don't agree, the answer is not to create more noise pollution in return, we have clocks, watches and timetables in every house. The Muezzin simply has a duty to maintain the ritual of Azaan, it will reach a natural distance, further than that people can use clocks and timetables, no need to give high blood pressure and burst ear drums of those closer to the Mosque.
The problem with our people is they'll defend and let everything go on in the name of their religion even if it's actually against the principles of that religion, anyone who questions such practices gets shutted up by the crusaders.
Whether it's Naarra-Khol Peers, bombers, money grabbing-Mullahs or loudspeakers, our ppl are too brainwashed to oppose them.
